No. You should take only tt injection by consulting your doctor and take proper care about scratch injury. It may not be necessary to get booster vaccination, if you have already taken full course of 5 injections. However we always advise you to watch the dog for 10 days from date of bite for any illness or disappearance of dog. If normal as before no vaccination. If any such mishap to be extra cautious, take two doses with one week gap between two doses.

Take the last dose as soon as possible.
If you know the dog, observe it (if it's okay or sick or dead)

No the same schedule you have to continue and finish all the doses
besides the vaccine it seems you are getting a lot of dog bites. Be careful about the dogs and learn their behaviour and danger signs. For more info visit Lybrate website and read my tips on dog bite.

It will not give any additional protection.
Any one of them is sufficient.
Both routes may give additional side effects like redness pain and fever.
But it will still protect you. It does not reduce effect also.
